Thursdays, 6:30 PM

Glen & Julia Blomgren are Rhythm ’N’ Boots ... dynamic couple with personality, experience, and friendly, responsive attitude. They are certified by the National Country Western Dance Association as 5-Star Country Dance Instructors. ​Julia & Glen have been dancing together and teaching dance for over 28 years and it's what they love to do! That enthusiasm transfers to audiences to make every event fun and exciting.

Julia's Mexican heritage definitely had an influence on her because, growing up up in Flagstaff, AZ, where her grandmother owned a small restaurant, she and her nine sisters all helped out and after closing each day, they listened to Mexican music on the radio and the jukebox, her brother played guitar and sang in Spanish, and they would dance with each other to the jukebox- that's how she learned to dance! She always liked country western music and loved to dance to it too!

Glen started dancing as a kid in the local Grange Halls around his hometown of Chewelah, WA and even tried his hand at riding rough stock in the local rodeos, which naturally led to kicking up his heels at the rodeo dances. Since then he has learned from the best through workshops, private lessons, and videos.

Over the years, Julia and Glen have owned a dance studio, danced on national television, and traveled the country, dancing in some of the famous dance halls in Texas, Nashville, Las Vegas, Branson and Hawaii.

Although Julia and Glen specialize in country dancing- both partner and line varieties, they mix in a little ballroom and Latin flavor to create their own unique brand of social dancing that is really fun and people seem to like it. They love to share what they have learned with others- it gives them great pleasure to see new dancers "get it" and start gaining confidence on the dance floor!
